I ALMOST DROPPED MY DRAWERS!
Mar 30, 2009
I've been purusing the message boards. Quite often I see posts about NSV (non scale victories). Many are to do with getting a smaller pants size, co-workers or long lost relatives noticing weight loss, and the such. I've yet to post my recent NSV, as it was a NSV as well as PH (personal humiliation). I have yet to decide which wins out. Anyway, I thought I'd share my NSV/PH with you, as I'm sure you'd appreciate it, and "get it".Before I describe the aforementioned NSV/PH, let me preface this by saying that at work, we have had a challenging pre-teen girl to work with. She is, God bless her, developmentally delayed, and we assume has had a history of sexual abuse. As tragic as this sounds, she is a very stubborn and delightful girl. However, she has the habit of putting her hands down her pants and touching herself at most inopportune times (school, dinner table, bus, court room, during therapy appointments, and any other time to just get a shock out of poor unsuspecting bystanders). Anyway, we had just be discussing her at work not more than ten minutes before I left to go do some grocery shopping at Fred Meyer (like Super Walmart). This Freddy's is the one that we frequent almost daily for groceries, toiletries, prescriptions, and the such. Anyway, I'm searching for Greek Yogurt, Splenda, etc., as I was planning on making a new recipe (too much food network is not a good thing)...but I digress...
Anyway, half way down the cracker aisle, in front of the Keebler Elfs and God, my underwear fell off! Seriously! Okay, go ahead...laugh........ya just have to...
Thankfully I was wearing jeans, or I would have just had to step right out of them completely, and request a clean up on aisle 14.
Being aware that there are "eyes" and security cameras everywhere, I tried to put my hands in my pockets and pull my deserting panties up from there. However, the pulling up from the pockets didn't work. I could just imagine the odd panty line I was sporting while rounding the corner and coming face to face with Aunt Jemima! I was so very focused on getting all my new and untried ingredients for my dinner, that I just unconsciously kept trying to pull up my granny panties from the outside of my jeans. I'm sure that the clerk at the front of the store (you know the one...she points you to the register with the shortest line...or asks if you want to go to self-check out)...anyway, I'm sure that clerk wanted to point me towards aisle 8 which was home to various itching creams and topical wonders for jock itch, yeast infections, and bug bites. But she remained stoic as I pondered the lines at the regsiters.
Then it happened! I didn't even realize I did it! I slid my left hand inside my pants, ran it down to the outside of my thigh....and hoisted those darned panties up to my waist (just short of a wedgie). INSIDE MY PANTS FOR GOD SAKE!
Before I knew it, the previously referenced clerk, asked me if I wanted to go in "this line right here"?? I looked at her, then the register, then my basket. I had more than 12 items. She said it didn't matter, that I could check out quicker. Before I could say another work, the courtesy clerk from the SELF CHECK OUT LINE, comes sprinting in my direction, grabs my basket, and says, "here hon, why don't i help you down here?" I followed my basket, which was leaving me in a trail of grocery store dust, to the self check out lines. This clerk actually scanned, bagged, and carted my groceries. IN THE SELF CHECK OUT STAND!!!
So I guess there were two ways to look at this. Either these familiar clerks, whom I've interacted with for 10 plus years, decided I was some mentally ill woman who couldn't keep her hands off herself, or they feared that I was getting ready to lose a prostetic leg. Either way, I now know what to do if I want to get out of a store quick...just shove my hands down my pants and wriggle a bit....while looking lost.
So that is the story of my NSV/PH...my underwear is too big. Have to get more, but not from Fred Meyer.
